Vegard Nygaard is out in front

[user3511]
[user3511]
Vegard Nygaard, a player from Oslo, has slowly and quietly taken the chip lead. He is sat at the same table as early leader Richard Ashby, who has dropped a few chips with Nygaard being the benefactor.

Annie Duke and Howard Lederer are now at adjacent tables and are sitting back to back.

"I've got your back sis," he may have said, perhaps.

Eli Elezra Enjoys the Razz

[user46298]
[user46298]
A couple of nice pots for Elezra, including a strange three-way one with Farzad Bonyadi and Torstein Iversen which got to sixth street with the table like so:
Elezra (X-X) {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Bonyadi (X-X) {J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Iversen (X-X) {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

A check round for the final card and when it was dealt one bet from Elezra was enough to see off the other two. "Show off a bluff!" encourages Bonyadi. Elezra adds the 9c to his visible cards...

Doing Swimmingly

[user4144]

A battle of the English-speaking nations saw Ted Forrest (US), Richard Gryko (UK) and Donnacha O'Dea (Ireland) lock horns in a Razz hand.

A bet of 600 from Donnacha, a call from Forrest, and a re-raise to Gryko led to Donnacha moving virtually all- in and Forrest swiftly moving out of the way.

Naturally, Gryko called, and it was on their backs. By the end of the hand, it was the former Olympic swimmer and former bracelet winner who survived for a double through, his {6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} enough to fend off Gryko's {2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

As a result, the Irishman is as happy as Larry, whoever Larry might be.

95 Players Remaining

Out of the 105 runners in today's event, 10 players have busted out including Dan Shak, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi , Humberto Brenes, Tony G, Andy Black, and Marcel Luske.

So... What Game is This?

[user25067]

There is an apparent H.O.R.S.E. rookie seated over on Robert Mizrachi's table. As a razz hand reached fourth street, the man looked a bit confused and looked to Mizrachi for a bit of assistance.

Rookie: So... this is eight or better?

Mizrachi: No, it's razz.

Rookie: How does that one go?

Various players: Low hand/make the worst hand possible/stud low...

Rookie: Is a flush bad?

Mizrachi: No, it's not deuce-to-seven.

Rookie: OK, then. Call.

Grinder Down

Approaching the felt, Mike Mizrachi finally met it in a Stud hand against youngster Nicky Jedlicka. He ended up with a pair of Aces against Jedlicka's Queens up, which from the look on the Grinder's face only took the lead (and therefore him out) on the final card.

Tony G Eliminated

Tony G was short stacked for most of the day. He was down to 1,500 and doubled up. He hovered around 3,000 in chips during the last level. He could not make up any ground and has been eliminated.
